Yo!

Sorry I have not been on, I have been working my ass off, trying hard for a promotion right now, its anywhere from 10-20 thousand more a year, its where I want to be and what I like to do, so yeah its important to me.

I have been doing pretty well with my new job, learning a lot and trying to improve my skills, my free time has been spent doing things at home, heck I hardly even game anymore.

The boys are doing well, Keegan turned 5 in July, started kindergarten last month, Mason will be 4 at the end of the month, so you know another party is coming, and yeah Mace is still in pre-school. Logan turned 2 in June and is in day care all day.

Last month Kat and I went white water rafting, it was loads of fun, the first vacation we have had in a long time, well needed.

Other than that there isnt really much to report, its get up and rush to get the boys dropped off, head to work, rush home for dinner and then repeat. In between that there is a lot of cleaning and laundry too, so as you see I dont have the time to go online to blog it up like I used too. I usually veg out downloading music and videos, I like to get movies and tv shows to watch.

My friends are doing well, a few have had kids, another got married Keegan was the ring bearer, looked great in his tux BTW. We got a new TV, not a big one like I wanted, but it works for Kat and the boys very well, my plan is to move it into the bedroom once we get a big tv.

I have really been rapped up in my work, I feel as if I dont make enough money, not for the toys but for a comfortable living, then again daycare sucks a lot of the money up, so I feel I am not on par and where I need to be, renting is a pain, I want to own a house.

I do really enjoy my job, I am picking up a lot of odd responsibilities and getting more training. I enjoy what I do, but sometimes feel my hours are a burden to my wife and family, 10-7 kinda makes things a bit tough for us, I am usually very early to work cause Kat starts at 8:30, but its good cause I get to work with the admins and learn more, but it really makes my days long so by the time I am done running 5-9 miles a day I dont have much energy when I get home. I feel its screwing things up in some regards, but on the bright side, I do enjoy my job, that is usually a hard thing for people to say.

I am way behind on all of my studies and home projects, I need to kick them into high gear. I am constantly kicking myself over that, I need to study and learn more, rapidly too. I want that promotion, but I am setting my expectations low I know will get there its just a matter of when.

The economy has me freaked out. Gas has been a constant pain and we live 4.8 miles from work. X-mas is coming and I am struggling to make more OT so the holiday doesnt come out of pocket.

But enough about me, tell me about you. Whats new and whats different?
